I've found "Chlewey" to be unique enough (look at Altavista or
something)... but I have some problems trying to use it in many
languages. Of course I've sketched languages where /'xlju:i/ is posible,
but they would most probably not be writen, nor romanized as "chlewey"...
Actually the conection orthography-pronunciation of "Chlewey" is quite ood
and had elements of English (one of the most ood languages in the
conection orthography-pronunciation) mixed with... German?... Well...
mayby some day I would sketch a language where the natural pronunciation
fo "chlewey" would be /'xlju:i/... let's say: {ch}=/x/, {l}=/l/,
{ew}=/ju:/, {ey}=/i/, accent either on first syllabe or on second last
syllabe.
